Wines of Spain

Wine production in Spain began around 1100 BCE with the Phoenicians. The Romans later expanded it, and during the Moorish occupation, viticulture continued to thrive. Spain is known for its diverse wine regions, such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Penedès, producing famous varieties like Tempranillo and Garnacha.
